How will FunITS identifications compare to FunSeq (D2) identifications?
Accugenix is committed to providing you with the most accurate methods available. Your identifications should not change, but you may receive IDs that had a confidence level of ‘Species*’ change to ‘Species.’ Because FunITS provides an ID based on a target that has a higher degree of variation, you can expect more species level identifications. ITS does provide a higher degree of resolution than the D2 region; species tend to have a greater genetic distance between each other within the same genus. This may result in a genus level call rather than a previously named species.
